As far as reverse goes, you are clear on that. In a moment of total stupidity and just plain spacing out, don't ask me what I was thinking as I don't even know, I threw my X into PARK while taking a corner to get on a freeway at 80 MPH!!! Did absolutely nothing. The car is just too smart. THANK GOD!
Edit sorry I threw it into PARK DISCLAIMER: IF YOU DO THIS AND SCREW UP YOUR TRANNY IT IS NOT MY FAULT. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Similar question--what if the car is moving and someone inadvertently pushes the P on top of the shifter? I'm hoping that it doesn't go ahead and shift into park. I know there's an easy way to find out (try it) but I'm too chicken. Given the placement of the drink holders seems like it would be an easy thing to have happen.

Anyway, on a open stretch of the road, I did press the start/stop earlier going about 30 miles per hour and nothing has happened. (no comfort access) Maybe you need to be holding the brake or something else. In any case I dont see anything wrong happening if you shut off the car while its moving, but its good to know that you can or can not in case of emergency. What I also know that parking brake works almost as a pedal while you are moving and could be used in an emergency, not sure of strenght of the effect if the engine is off. If you are to experiment, do not ever experiment with other cars on the road and if there maybe something else in the path that could remotely cause some kind of an accident. I am sure BMW's are made with as much safety as possible to the vehicle and if there is someone that could be cause of an accident it would be the person driving it being not carefull enough.
